The 18u and 16u Orange County Hawks will be holding open tryouts in at the Varsity Softball Field in El Dorado High School, 1651 N. Valencia Ave., Placentia, on Sunday, 8/26. 18u tryouts will begin 11:00 AM while 16u will be at 2:00 PM. All players should be there 15 minutes to 20 minutes before start time.

All positions will be earned and players will compete for their spots on the field. Players must possess a strong work ethic and willingness to compete at a higher level, while maintaining the selflessness of a team player. We are looking for "gamers", student athletes interested in working hard both on and off the field. Also, we are looking for parents and families who will be positive, fun and committed to building an excellent team.

The team is based in Placentia/Yorba Linda and is part of the Orange County Hawks organization. The Orange County Hawks organization is a non profit and approved 501(c)3 organization. We focus on developing each player's abilities while also emphasizing team work, good sportsmanship and community involvement. Through demonstration, intensive training and teaching, the girls will improve and respect the game while preparing to play against top competition.

We will be competing in showcases and tournaments hosted by Surf City, Socal Finest, TCS, ASA, and PGF, with the aim to qualify for PGF and ASA Nationals during the 2012 -2013 season.To assist the girls in their recruitment, we have the services of Kim Johnston who also assists other teams in the college recruitment.
